About

Hi, I’m Karen…

Cosmetic craver, beauty buff & self confessed makeup maven is how I might be described. Combining my love for writing along with a beauty room stock piled with all kinds of coloured goodies means I get to share my passion of scribing about attempting to beautify my pale Irish skin with the help of a sassy variety of bedazzling eye powders & lip paints.

Occasionally (between a daily dose of beauty chatter) you’ll also find a curious sprinkling of lifestyle, DIY & blogging tips. Since launching Confetti & Curves in November 2014, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with a number of innovative brands by embarking on a range of exciting opportunities to fill the virtual expanse of my beauty & lifestyle blog. Additionally, having worked in bridal retail, I’ve composed articles & editorials for some of the industry’s most highly respected and best selling magazines… and learnt a lot in the process I might add. Yes, even mistakes are considered as valuable when it comes to riding life’s learning curves. Surprisingly, I now get to share a selection of blog tips & marketing hints through a collection of light hearted features that have become more of a habitual rambling with inspirational interaction from regular readers all over the world.

When I’m not waving my mascara wand, I’m mum to an adorable little girl & wife to a vastly supportive husband. My family is my world. My blog is simply a creative escapism where I can express myself, write ‘til my heart’s content & occasionally elect as a feeble excuse to fill my shopping basket in any given beauty aisle.

So why not grab a cuppa, make yourself comfy and have a good plunder through my online haven… don’t forget to say hello, or if you’re feeling exceptionally friendly you can always drop me an email via my contact page.

Hi dearest Karen, I have nominated you for The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award! I bet you are quivering in excitement… or perhaps you might be hitting your head against a wall repeating the phrase “Not another award, not another award!” You don’t have to accept this award, but I would love for you to pop over to my blog and come celebrate! There will be imaginary champagne, disco balls and a drumming cat! What more could one want? Hehe.
